Probably a fair number of dogs and cats

[Karl Spooner]

The worse it gets, the better the liberals feel about themselves.

[gundog]

Remember the giant flapdoodle over Ave Maria, Florida? Libs were concerned that a religious name for a town might somehow warp the minds of its’ residents. Corpus Christi, San Fran, Santa Barbara....

The only solution is to open more money on the bums...a LOT more money...I mean 100 times what we are spending now. More money always cures a problem like this.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Just think...people used to complain about the Brazilian slums called "favelas."

a homelessness crisis driven in part by too little housing stock and a raring tech economy that has widened the inequity gap.

Incredible bulls--t. I live here, and it's go nothing to do with the tech economy pricing anyone out of anything. Regular, normal people who get priced out of San Francisco move to Bakersfield or Modesto or Stockton or Reno. They don't end up as part of the deplorable mob known as S.F.'s "homeless population." The S.F. homeless are a class of people characterized by drug abuse, alcoholism, mental illness or sexual deviancy (or sometimes 2 to 4 of those). They're not normal people who were downsized from jobs at Hewlett- Packard and have fallen on hard times. They've come to S.F. from all over the U.S. to live on the streets, do drugs and engage in sexual deviancy in a place where they can be assured that the good liberals will provide them with city services and the cops & district attorney will leave them alone..

In my part of north eastern California, there are no homeless people. Too cold, it is still snowing here.

[Persevero]

We reward bum behaviors here and penalize the productive and law
Abiding. So why are we pretty much prosperous?

I think it’s wealth transference. We are full of government and universities and hospitals. So the entire country holds us up, taxwise.

Then you have the tech boom. The techies to a large degree have decided it’s cool here. Soon you have a self fulfilling prophecy as those who like moral deviance come here to work. The economy thrives for a while.

Only my theory but it can’t last forever if I am right. Many of the more productive citizens while they love homosexuality and abortion and feminism and socialism as long as they stay rich are getting fed up with the filth and waste. I am watching.

[Persevero]

I think they inflate the numbers. It’s in their interest to do so. More funding.

[Persevero]

Irishjuggler has ABSOLUTELY nailed it

[Oscar in Batangas]

GOOD! Let Nancy, Kamala, Gavin and DiFi have ‘em ALL.

Along with the several 100,000 new arrivals from down south.

THEN put up the wall . . . over there

[lgjhn23]

I wonder if the poop piles in the streets increased by the same amount? Surely, they would. We need to send all the street poopers from the 3rd world shiteholds to there to help out...

[lurk]

Collectivism is an amazing amalgam of the economic and the spiritual.

[gundog]

Maybe. But if it’s 25percent high. that’s still an awful lot of people. Locally, it’s been an increasing problem. Portland sends some folks here on the bus because a local place has funds. The lake I fish has a semi-resident bunch. Most of them want to be left alone, and will behave and clean up after themselves better than some of the native slobs. Others are a problem.

[nwrep]

Where is this?

[morphing libertarian]

The Feces District downtown

[FLT-bird]

They’re multiplying.....almost as fast as the turds and used needles on the sidewalks are multiplying.

[faithhopecharity]

and the shit piles up ever higher and higher on the Streets of San Fransicko

[central_va]

Wait ‘till the Guatemalans get there!!!!

[ZOOKER]

Not to worry, it's only a cyclical aberration.

The numbers of Homeless people, and journalists who report on them, tend to explode every time a Republican runs for re-election.

The surge will mysteriously vanish after the election.
